[QUOTE="Desperately Sad, post: 641783, member: 18614"] Just thought i would write an update. After him telling hm that he was not coming home, I sent him an email, basically saying that I love him, but acknowledge he is an adult and i could not, and wouldnt want to force him to come home, that it was his choice. I also said that like a broken leg rarely heals correctly on its own, mental illness often needs counselling to fix, and that one day, when he was ready it may help him to find someone who can help him. I told him the door was always open for him here, this was his home, and if he changes his mind text me and i will pick him up, i told him again i loved him and hoped that whereever he was this Christmas I pray that he was safe. Then Out of the blue this am, i got a text saying can I pick him up!! I couldnt believe my eyes. Only wanted me to go not husband, so I drove and collected him, and spent the journey in silence, as he dosnt want to chat, or have christmas, meet people. Etc. etc. but I am just over the moon, that he is safe and has food to hand. Thank you all so so much for all your support yesterday. I know this is not a magic cure and all the problems resolved, but baby steps, he is home and safe for now, and for that I am over the moon, and very happy. Thank you once again, and sure i will be re-reading all your advice for the next episoide. [/QUOTE]
